[She was still admiring you last night because of your piano skills, but the moment she saw Chu Zihang, she clung to him like chewed gum!]
Lu Mingfei remained silent, but the system could see through all her thoughts.
System Bro is definitely doing this on purpose... Lu Mingfei was absolutely certain of it.
But who Liu Miaomiao likes has nothing to do with him; they're just classmates.
Perhaps she also has another identity: the daughter of her benefactor.
After a long silence, Lu Mingfei wondered to herself, "Brother, did you bring her here just to let me know about this?"
Lu Mingfei (the system) smiled but remained silent. Some things were better left for the real Lu Mingfei to figure out himself.
……
The air in the cramped back seat of the taxi seemed even more stuffy than outside.
Liu Miaomiao lowered her head, secretly tracing the handsome and aloof profile of Chu Zihang beside her out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Senior Brother Chu..." she began cautiously, her voice barely audible, "Didn't you just go to Kassel College? Why are you back so suddenly?"
She regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth.
Could it be that he was expelled from school?
She extinguished the absurd thought as soon as it popped into her head—a genius like Chu Zihang was always the one who rejected others.
The carriage fell silent, and Liu Miaomiao's heart sank deeper and deeper.
"What do you think of Lu Mingfei?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked, his voice still calm.
Liu Miaomiao's breath hitched: "Are you asking about... Lu Mingfei or Lu Mingfei?"
"I don't know." Chu Zihang stared straight ahead, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
He really didn't know—his mentor only mentioned "Lu Mingfei" on the phone, who would have thought that "Lu Mingfei" would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
This brief and cold response sent a tsunami-like sense of crisis through Liu Miaomiao!
If... Chu Zihang is looking for that Lu Mingfei!
The thought of that stunning face hidden behind the mask and sunglasses sent chills down Liu Miaomiao's spine.
Although she was known as a "piano prodigy," she felt like an ant in the face of Lu Mingfei.
She even... she even had impure thoughts about Lu Mingfei herself!
Chu Zihang... Chu Zihang is also a human being!
Would he not be tempted?
In a daze, Lu Mingfei's image appeared in her mind.
How did that cowardly and pathetic boy manage to stay rational in the face of his sister's beauty?
At this moment, Liu Miaomiao felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for Lu Mingfei.
Half an hour later, in front of the Regent Hotel.
The two taxis came to a stop almost simultaneously, raising a fine cloud of dust.
Lu Mingfei was the first to push open the door and get out of the car, ignoring Liu Miaomiao's complicated expression behind him. He simply grabbed Lu Mingfei's slender wrist and led the three of them straight through the revolving door.
The four figures were reflected in the gleaming marble floor, and the crystal chandelier illuminated the lobby with a golden splendor.
The air was filled with the scent of expensive fragrances and money, yet it couldn't mask a certain inexplicable sense of unease.
At the front desk, the staff looked at the four people with a puzzled expression – a strange combination of two men and two women, yet they only booked one business suite.
Her professional smile froze on her face, and she opened her mouth as if to ask something.
At that very moment, some unseen force subtly distorted her perception.
A self-evident thought took root in her mind: this is perfectly normal.
She quickly regained her professional smile, smoothly completed the check-in procedures, and handed three room keys to Lu Mingfei.
After Lu Mingfei handed one of the room cards to Chu Zihang, the four of them headed straight for the elevator.
The elevator doors closed silently, and the metal car carrying four people slowly ascended.
In the hotel corridor, the door lock of room 607 made a soft "beep" sound.
Just as the four figures disappeared behind the door—
Another soft "beep" sounded.
The door to room 606 next door opened silently and at an incredible speed!
A few wisps of eerie, thin black mist seeped in silently, as if they were alive.
Click.
The door slammed shut the moment the last wisp of black mist disappeared, so fast it seemed like a mere illusion.
Inside room 606, the lights were eerily brighter.
The dissipating black mist disappeared in the center of the living room, revealing the slender figure of Mai Shude.
Her expression was more solemn than ever before; her usual languid and charming demeanor had vanished, replaced by a vigilant look as if facing a formidable enemy.
On the sofa, Su Enxi's eyes widened, and the bag of potato chips in her hand silently slipped from her grasp.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and they both read the same shock in each other's eyes.
This is even more terrifying than the most absurd ghost movies!
They clearly witnessed it with their own eyes—
Just a few hours ago, that loser Lu Mingfei really did turn into a girl named "Lu Mingfei"!
The evidence is conclusive and the process is clear.
But now...
Another "Lu Mingfei" brazenly moved into the house next door with Chu Zihang, "Lu Mingfei" and Liu Miaomiao.
His composure in every gesture made it seem as if the whole world was under his control.
The two were absolutely certain that it was not the Lu Mingfei they knew, but some being disguised as Lu Mingfei...
What's even more terrifying is that the other party not only knew of their existence, but also had precise knowledge of their location.
Their espionage and surveillance, which they take pride in, may seem like child's play to the other side.
This is no coincidence.
This is a blatant act of intimidation!
Chapter 20 System Bro, please stop using your supernatural powers!
607 Business Suite.
"Senior brother, my sister and I have something to talk about, so we need to use the bedroom!" Lu Mingfei pulled Lu Mingfei, who was curled up in a ball, into the bedroom.
Only the expressionless Chu Zihang and the lovesick Liu Miaomiao remained in the living room.
"Click."
The bedroom door closed softly behind me, shutting out outside sounds and sights.
The bedroom layout is not complicated, with a large silk bed and a down comforter on top.
In addition, there are televisions, computers, calligraphy scrolls, bookshelves, clothes racks...
Lu Mingfei sat on the bed, while Lu Mingfei stood in front of him, the two staring at each other.
"It's almost time!"
Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei felt a darkness before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, Lu Mingfei had transformed into Lu Mingfei wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
He touched his arm in disbelief, then seemed to be trying to confirm something.
Immediately afterwards, his hand reached down sharply.
Two seconds later.
Lu Mingfei let out a suppressed growl from deep within his chest, a mixture of ecstasy and relief:
"They're back!...They're back!!!"
He was filled with the ecstasy of having something lost and found; he even wanted to jump up and down on the spot!
at this time--
The girl beside the bed, dressed as a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), spoke in that sweet and melodious voice that belonged to "Lu Mingfei":
"[Side Quest: Pick up Chu Zihang and arrange accommodation for him. Completed.]"
"[Task Reward: Unlock personal panel.]"
"[Personal panel loading... Loading complete.]"
"【Name: Lu Mingfei】"
"[Age: 17]"
"[Race: Dragon Hybrid]"
"【Bloodline Awakening Level: 1%】"
"【Word of Power: None available】"
"[Holded Item: Seed of Music (Growth Rate 15%)]"

"[Currently undertaking missions: Main Mission Two (First in the grade in the final exams); Main Mission Three (Achieve the limits of human physical capabilities within one hundred days).]"
Lu Mingfei froze on the spot.
He stared intently at the being before him—the one who should have been "himself"—on that familiar yet unfamiliar face, Lu Mingfei's voice was uttering the most incongruous words.
The clear, melodious voice of a young girl should have been naturally soft and sweet, but at this moment it sounded mechanical, like an AI reading aloud, without a trace of emotion.
